A magical brunch at Esme Raji Codell's Book Room, a children's book wonderland if there ever was one. If the setting were not amazing enough, Esme prepared a delicious spread of food that included a blintz cassserole that made me very very happy.

Finding out we have more than just our affection for children's and YA literature in common -- We discovered we share similar interests in movies, TV shows, coffee and shoes.

A chance to visit with gifted authors and illustrators

Such happiness and joy to find out all the blogs I read, REALLY are written and hosted by such nice, smart and funny people.

I think I am the last one to post. As usual, Indefatigable Kelly at Big A little a has an excellent round-up of the posts about the conference.

It was great to finally meet you, Camille! And I totally second this remark: "Such happiness and joy to find out all the blogs I read, REALLY are written and hosted by such nice, smart and funny people."

I'm finally getting around to blog reading this week. I can't tell you much I enjoyed meeting you and talking kids, school and books. I do hope we get to meet again. I am going to try mightily to come to TX for the TLA conference. Best,Tricia
